Dear Mark,
It appears that all your names are agreed!
tendency_of_air_temperature_due_to_convection
tendency_of_air_temperature_due_to_stratiform_cloud_and_precipitation_an
d_boundary_layer_mixing
tendency_of_specific_humidity_due_to_stratiform_cloud_and_precipitation_
and_boundary_layer_mixing
are accepted and will be added to the standard name table at the next
update. Thanks for your patience.
Best wishes,
Alison
